The lot features an Indian hide and rawhide lined knife sheath with beautiful beadwork and is dating to circa late-1800's from the Northern Cheyenne. The sheath exhibits Indian tanned hide body with parfleche rawhide hard inside lining all being sinew sewn with a braided Indian hide belt strap atop and Indian hide fringes at the center with rolled tin jingle dangle cones. The front of the belt sheath is covered in classic geometric beadwork from the Cheyenne and Northern Cheyenne showing a light blue bacground with symbols of stepped triangles, cross, tab squares, zig-zag river or snake patterns and banding done in greasy yellow, Cheyenne pink semi-transparent, dark blue, greasy green, and more light blue. The bottom shows an Indian hide fringe with solid brass hawk trade bell, two rolled tin metal jingle dangle cones with dyed horse tail hair. The beadwork is trade thread sewn. The piece is well kept and was likely preserved by a previous collector, truly a stunning look. Measures with fringes and belt strap 17.5--inches long and the sheath body itself without fringes is 10-inches long by 3-inches wide.
